I have a supercharger setup. Should be the same. Mines hooked up to the fuel pressure regulator vaccum line. That will give you both vac/boost.

Cool

There is a nipple to the rear of the intake manifold on the passenger side to the rear of the cross over pipe for the fuel rail. You have to take the engine cover off to see it. It is just under the lip of the engine cover. You cut or break ( be careful) the end off the nipple and you can attach any vac/boost operated equipment to it with 1/4" hose.

why do that when the fuel pressure regulator is much easier. Thats how mine is hooked up and it works perfect. No cutting at all just have a barbed tee fitting and a 2" of 1/8" tubing. Its very easy not need to remove the vortec cover at all.
